Have a 1.13c Hardcore FAM group. I host and with 5 people plus a large number of mercs and summons, we've had no lag issues. My connection is stable and steady. I run runeword mod as my only mod, so if you play with this group, you are FAM on the character. We allow twinking and the group has helped each other out filling some gear holes already.

We meet on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6-9 PM central time (7-10 Eastern). If you show up late, I'm usually willing to help you catch up on missed quests or exp afterward. If you would like to join, finish reading the thread and then leave us a note and leave me a PM for the ip info.

Would you like to join us? Either get a character caught up or leave a note in the thread if you need help catching up, and we'll be glad to have additions to the group. We've talked briefly about doing some hell baal runs once we finish. I think it might be foolish for me to hope that we will go to 99 ... but I think unless I deeds, this will be my first attempted post 1.09 99 toon, so I'm certainly down for long term interested folks.

Right now I can't get a sub 1.12 install as my copy is tied to my b.net account. I've been trying to find a copy for my wife of the original battle chest, so 1.13c is it.

My intention was to do this untwinked, but if the rest of the group prefers twinked, I don't mind. Just realize that my stashes are really lightweight right now, I've not even cleared up to hell meph yet with my restart. I can put a sigon's set on myself and some mid-level stuff, and that's about it.

I'm thinking of going with a fishymancer or if nobody rolls a sorc I can put one up to handle enchant duty ... probably would go with either blizzbal or a pure lightsorc if we've got a pally to run conviction.

Sounds like a plan. I vote pure light sorc, although, pure LF zons with the, Charged Strike? Are deadly boss killers; again, although, we will already have Combo and I for tanks, OMG, guessing playing like a caster? Summon druid, correct? With CE? Shoot fire, run with the LF zon! Great area killer with LF even in SP, throw up a valk, and we'd have at least 6 tanks including the mercs!

Okay then, it's settled. Monday at 6-9 central. I'll PM everyone my ip to connect about an hour ahead of time and have the game set up a few minutes early. We'll be going through normal and nm on /players 8 of course.

Just a reminder, this is 1.13 Hardcore with RWM enabled. If you are not normally RWM, make sure to make a new gomule project and isolate our finds and this character from your usual stashes. Anything that comes into this game or touches any of the toons will be 1.13 HC RWM.

any spots still open? i was reluctant to post when it was going to be 2 days a week for 3 hours, but i can do mondays 6-9 most of the time. i'm all in 1.13c HC so i would prefer twinked if that's still up for debate, but if not, not. i have a couple builds i'd try out.

edit: never mind, i see you're still doing 6 hours a week. good luck to you all :thumbup:

Well, the plan is still 2 days a week, but one of the players is going to miss one of the days already, so if you don't mind doing a little catch up on the in between, you're more than welcome.

I will have the game up in about 1 hour and 50 minutes. I will PM the IP to folks, and I guess we can use this thread to update our progress. As a reminder, this is 1.13c Hardcore with Runeword Mod, and twinking is allowed.

I've decided to go with a LF zon instead of light sorc and will be twinking with a sigon's set and some other low level goodies I've found by running NM Andariel this week (17 rings so far, no SOJ yet tho). We will be playing on /players 8 and I prefer to be thorough in clearing early on (but will acquiesce if the rest of the group prefers to skip some stuff).
